Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 5 May 2056

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:53 here. Shashthi ended at 05:47, before it. Saptami ends at 05:24 Sat, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 4 May ran from sunset 19:59 Thu to sunrise 05:53, 9 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:53 to 20:00, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 45 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:00 to 05:52 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 14 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 270°. It leaves at 19:03, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 20.7° + 272.7° = 293.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 04:23 Sat, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 17:30, when the lead reaches 258°; Bava until 05:24 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:53 to 05:52 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 Apr 03:50 Sat to 14 May 20:06 Sun the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 14 May 21:13 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha itself.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 14 May, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) here, and Vaishakha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 2056, 10:52 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 48.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2113; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1978.
